Hi list,

Here's some information from Spectrum 9.1
I had to add some event handling for DUPLEX_MISMATCH once upon a time.

Cisco Router, Switch, and Firewall devices log many internal events in the 
device's system log, or syslog. Depending upon device configuration, these 
syslog events may be sent to Spectrum using traps.
Spectrum uses the values of three trap variables to map the trap to a Spectrum 
Event ID. These mappings are contained in three text files on the SpectroSERVER:

- $SPECROOT/SS/CsVendor/Cisco_Router/Rtr.txt
- $SPECROOT/SS/CsVendor/Ctron_CAT/Switch.txt
- $SPECROOT/SS/CsVendor/CiscoPIX/Pix.txt

These text files have the following internal fields, separated by spaces:

- An abbreviated classification, for example RCMD or SNMP
- A Cisco severity level, a digit from 0 to 4
- An abbreviated text description, for example AUTHFAIL
- A Spectrum Event ID

For example:
CDP 4 DUPLEXMISMATCH 0x011c0214

Further information about the configuration of these text files can be found in 
CA Spectrum manual #5127, titled Cisco Applications User Guide.
In 9.2, the manual name is Spectrum_Cisco_Device_Management_ENU.pdf

HTH,

That particular event handles undefined SYSLOG traps from Cisco devices and has 
3 varbinds:
# varbind 1 (v 1) is the facility, e.g., CRYPTO # varbind 2 (v 2) is the 
numeric severity level, e.g., 4 # varbind 3 (v 3) is the message type, e.g. 
RECVD_PKT_INV_SPI

I also spent a long time trying to trace the actual source of that event, but 
finally gave up and just used it. It's a way to handle various SYSLOG trap 
events that aren't handled in $SPECROOT/SS/CsVendor/Cisco_Router/Rtr.txt and/or 
Ctron_CAT/Switch.txt, e.g.
0x210c0e R CA.EventCondition, \
   "({v 1} == {S \"AUTHMGR\"} && {v 3} == {S \"SUCCESS\"})" , "0xfff00002 -:-", 
\
   "({v 1} == {S \"AUTHMGR\"} && {v 3} == {S \"START\"})" , "0xfff00002 -:-", \
   "({v 1} == {S \"AUTHMGR\"} && {v 3} == {S \"FAIL\"})" , "0xfff00002 -:-", \
   "({v 1} == {S \"BGP\"} && {v 3} == {S \"ADJCHANGE\"})" , "0xfff00020 -:-", \
